Team 7

Welcome to the Team 7 Fleet, also known as the character advancement and propulsion fleet. The primary purpose of the Team 7 Fleet is not competitive in nature but rather collaborative in nature. Coming from a career in over a decade of IT working with and supporting development teams (aka DevOps), I found that during my experience from when the game went GA (General Release) that there wasn't enough wiki information built on the MediaWiki (Timelines Wiki platform) to really assist those with proper usage of what they had obtained, regardless of a F2P or paid experience and moreover, those who invested in the game monetarily were essentially ignored, perhaps out of ignorance or perhaps because the VIP system wasn't being used properly.

That said, this fleet concept comes from the ST TNG episode "Booby Trap" where LaForge collaborates with the Enterprise Engineering lead developer, Dr Leah Braums, who is essentially in the same scenario as ourselves. From a development perspective things can seem perfect even ideal but when put into actual practice as players ourselves, we find that we encounter our own "Booby Traps", developer bugs or unintended results depending on OS platforms, even hardware platform more so with Android based devices. I can't even count the times this game has crashed on several different iOS devices without reason or rhyme, in fact I even had the game crash 5 times in a row after startup just to contact support and that's under the latest release (it also occurred as well in the previous releases). I won't detract the purpose of this fleet further but our mission is as follows:

• To assist new fleet members with reasonable questions without digging through the lacking wiki in a friendly and professional manner. • To provide game play tips that may help one further their crew and reduce wasted resources from credits to chronitons. • To provide guidance if one or more is willing who has advanced farther in the game to junior players who are a value to our team. • To share gameplay and character enhancement for senior players and strategy to advance one's crew. • And foremost to provide a sense belonging to something great, of comraderie, where we can share our newly found bugs; discuss feature requests so I can get them more directly to the dev team in Framingham/Boston MA area much faster that in the wiki that is really made for the players (deva rarely have time nor desire to review those and even a fix of one bug could trigger others).

So with much gratitude to my fellow fleet crew, whom I all consider equal in our desire to advance our gameplay for both ourselves and our team, thank you and may the travels you encounter bring you joy! I look forward to any feedback from any fleet crew member, after all this is 'our fleet' and one I intend to succeed going forward in improving both our characters, our Team 7 fleet and the overall gameplay experience for all. Please don't hesitate to message me with inquiries or other thoughts directly, via my actual title Dr Brian Tate.

Best Regards, Dr Brian Tate, Team 7 Fleet
